Diseño de un sistema de gestión de seguridad industrial en la empresa metálicas “Luis Tenorio” basados en los lineamientos de la norma ISO 45001

Abstract

This study focuses on the design of a management system for the company Metálicas Luis Tenorio, located in the northern part of Ecuador. The design of the management system is based on improving the occupational health and safety (OHS) of workers and people who may be affected by their activities. In addition, they learn to use personal protective equipment (PPE). The methodology used includes controlled drills, annual evaluation and certification of personnel, and continuous updating of training content to comply with current regulations and technologies. The results reflect a greater perception of safety among workers, who have shown a positive attitude towards the use of PPE and safety procedures. The design has a reduction in the number of incidents and injuries, strengthening the company's safety culture and improving its reputation in the sector. The active participation of supervisors and safety leadership is highlighted, as well as the importance of involving contractors and visitors in the procedures to avoid external risks. An important point of the proposed design is an annual update to be able to know how safety and health are improving within the company; the performance of safety audits, and the establishment of a system for reporting unsafe conditions. With these measures, it is expected to maintain a safe and efficient work environment, promoting an organizational culture based on risk prevention and continuous improvement.
